Stop Waiting for a Special Occasion and Host That Brunch This Spring
I am the QUEEN of waiting. Waiting for Friday, or the weekend, or the special occasion, or the perfect weather… for literally everything. And I’ve started to realize that all this waiting means I am missing out on having special moments ALL of the time instead.
A shift I’d really like to make in my life and in my business (and hopefully help you all do the same if you’re anything like me) is making things happen more often, less perfect, and in general, infusing the everyday with more joy and beauty. I mean, think about it. Wouldn’t you rather have little pockets of things that excite you every day instead of a special Saturday every once in a while? I know I would.
Let’s start with a spring brunch. (btw the weather totally sucked this day and i was missing ingredients for my tart and i didn’t get all the flowers i wanted but it didn’t matter!).

This started out as an idea for something I wanted to do with my husband on the weekend. Schedules an activities we committed to ended up conflicting and so I was left with an idea, and a bunch of ingredients, but no reason to set up the mini brunch for two.
And when I told a friend, she said, “I’m coming over and we’re making this happen”. So on a random Thursday we hung out in the backyard, pulled some decor from the cabinets, made some delicious tarts, and had a nice morning/afternoon… with no special occasion! It was perfect.
So grab a friend, or your partner, or your dog, or give yourself the morning off and do it just for you!
